A 20 element filepro array?  Or something else?   And what is the 
expected output - same type?

If this is a job strictly to yield a filepro array from a filepro array 
during execution of a processing table, I would likely keep the sorting  
there as well.  But if the ultimate source and/or goal involves data 
(and possibly other related tasks) outside of filepro, I might consider 
also sorting outside of filepro.

This makes me think of http requests that may ultimately read from or 
update a filepro record.  For certain data modifications like date math, 
for instance, it seems much easier to perform them in filepro processing 
as part of the request; whereas sorting is often easier to perform in 
javascript using the JS sort method after reading data from filepro (or 
before storage to filepro).
